Psychoacoustics for Music Production Self-Assessment

Question Title

* 1. Choose the correct definition for f₀.

It is the fundamental frequency of a periodic sound—the reciprocal of the period

It is the fundamental frequency of a periodic sound—the reciprocal of the wavelength

It is the least prominent frequency of a periodic sound; it is typically difficult to perceive

Question Title

* 2. You are presented with a guitar tone playing an E4 (330 Hz). Identify this wave’s periodicity.

3.03 seconds

3.03 milliseconds

3.30 seconds

3.30 milliseconds

It cannot be determined by the information given

Question Title

* 3. Compare the two waves depicted below. Identify what changed from M to N.

Amplitude

Frequency

Phase

Wavelength

Question Title

* 4. Compare the two waves depicted below and find the TRUE statement.

They are both complex waves

They have the same frequency

They have the same wavelength

They have the same number of harmonics

They have the same amplitude

Question Title

* 5. Which of the three waves depicted below has the greatest depth of modulation?

Question Title

* 6. Which of the following is NOT one of the basic attributes of sound?

Pitch

Loudness

Duration

Timbre

Emotion

Question Title

* 7. The partials of musical instruments and voices are harmonic, meaning that…

Their intensity has no effect on the wave’s pitch

They can be removed without changing the timbre of the instrument or voice

They sound pleasant

They occur at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency

They are sine waves

Question Title
